We thought the best way to post about being awarded First Place as The Best Instagram Feed in Santa Fe was to create a mosaic of all of YOUR photos! You all are the reason this #SimplySantaFe community has gotten to be as great as it is today and we could not do it without you.⠀
Since 2014, we’ve featured almost 2,000 photos from Santa Fe’s Instagram community here on @SimplySantaFeNM, sharing about local businesses, upcoming events, insider tips, and of course beauty shots from The City Different. We’re proud of how warm, welcoming, and inclusive this group is. ⠀
THANK YOU for voting us #1 for @sfreporter’s 2018 Best of Santa Fe!

@SimplySantaFeNM Voted First Place Best Instagram Feed in the 2016 Best of Santa Fe
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! We are so incredibly honored to have won the @sfreporter category for "Best Instagram Feed" 2016! We can't begin to describe how much this means to us or how totally thankful we are for the community who got us here. We're speechless (and if you know us, that's saying A LOT!) #SimplySantaFe exists because of the incredible photographers who love Santa Fe as much as we do and who so generously show that love on Instagram. We happily share this honor with all of YOU! It's a win for us all.
To celebrate, we'll be doing a takeover of the @sfraroundtown #Instagram account for the #BOSF2016 Block Party THIS Friday, 7/29. Food, drinks, giveaways, photo booth, vendor booths, #InstaSquare and the @thejayhawksofficial! Join us!
